10 SHARKS Safety briefing Eglin Dive Flight Aug 25, 2016 Adrian Mijangos

11 Why do humans fear sharks? Apex predators of the world s oceans With multiple rows of teeth, sharks look menacing and aggressive. Hollywood portrays sharks as man-eating killing machines Jaws, the movie (1975)

12 What Animals Kill The Most Humans Each Year? 1 Mosquito 725,000 2 Human 475,000 3 Snake 50,000 4 Dog 25,000 5 Tsetse Fly 10,000 6 Assassin Bug 10, Crocodile 1, Hippopotamus Elephant Lion Wolf Shark 10 (worldatlas.com)

13 Shark Behavior Sharks are scavengers They look for injured fish near the surface and seals, this is why surfers are occasionally bit by sharks Sharks behave like most other fish in the ocean, with one exception They are not as afraid of humans as most fish Humans are not in their food chain. You don t look like a fish, you don t smell like a fish, you don t sound like a fish, and you don t swim like a fish The theory is that shark bites are exploratory or mistake identity

14 Spearfishing Bleeding fish (after being speared) can attract sharks They want your fish! They don t want you Local sharks like Bulls and reef sharks are curious It s recommended you DON T give them your catch, as they will associate humans with a free meal. Keep calm, keep an eye on the shark, and if it makes aggressive moves, start a normal accent. Remember, shark attacks on scuba divers are extremely rare.
